New classes include the versatile Assault, deadly Assassin, protective Guardian, supportive Combat Medic, and explosive Demolitionist that each add their benefits to any team.

New item enhancements allow for more customization and power to your arsenal. Upgrade, reroll, and unlock bonuses for weapons you find and discover new prototype weapons, like the hellbug infused Venom Spitter.

New graphical updates for Xbox One, PS4, and PC and quality of life improvements to heighten your in-game experience.

With new core systems and improved visuals on a newer generation of hardware, Defiance 2050 is setting a solid foundation for launch and aims to evolve the story with new content in the future.

1.) So the founders pack will be available until 9:59 AM PST on July 11?

2.) Will the game be available to download several hours before play begins at 10 AM PST, so that we're not still trying to download the client at 4 PM PST when the servers slow down to 46 bps download speed?

NA/pc.
Mid E-5XXX main, but I play 26+ 'toons from E400 to E5500
Just my opinion.
I have lots of opinions.
Some of them, on occasion, people have agreed with.
I do not trust those people.

Hi. I was just curious. Will the $50 Ultimate Pack come with a founder's title by chance since it is the more expensive pack to buy? I really hope so. Would be nice months later for others who join to see a founder in game. Would show for the long term players something to be proud of.

Why do the PS4 players have to wait until the 6th to purchase the packs?? That's bs.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say it is a Sony thing. I switched from Xbox 360 to ps4 due to the way Sony operated at the time. Since they became top dog console they are worse than MS ever was about most things.

Still no founder pack in ps4 store!

What the hell? Are we going to be totally excluded forever? This is outrageous. I keep seeing "Head Start is July 6th" but absolutely no word on why the Founders Pack isn't showing up in the PSN store, not on console or the desktop site. I assume we can buy it ahead of time but it's past 12 am Central Time and still no Founder's Pack. I can't believe we are still getting screwed after all this time!

Edit: Really. Launch. We get it at launch. Awesome. In the future, here's a protip: if you know Sony is going to have worst delay because of their internal approval ***-scratching BS (should be well known by now--*waves at PS3*), would it not be logical to prioritize development and/or deadlines for the version that's going to take the longest to push thru? Just saying.

Also, if it's is going to be late because of said ***-scratching, please own it. We know how Sony works. There is NO WORD on when the Founder's Pack will be available and the generic crap about 'Oh Head Start starts X time' is not really an explanation. C'mon guys.

Even More Edit: Actually, if you extend the time we have to buy the Founder's Pack, that'd be fair. Seriously, I have SO MUCH MONEY TO GIVE. LET ME GIVE IT.
